Putting links outside the main navigation pane's borders

How can I add links outside the main navigation area, where the wall paper currently is? As in where I've added the image of Mochikas on my page. I can edit the banner with that image but I would like to add it with a link.
Thank you

There are tools for this that make it quite easy but it also requires learning how to use the tool. Most are browser specific: FireBug for FireFox, Developer Tools is an inbuilt feature in Chrome under the Tools heading and there's also FireBug Lite for Chrome in the Apps Store. IE have something as well but just can't remember the name offhand

I would be happy to try and locate this for you if you tell me your web-address of your published site?

That's another way too. In that case I would then use an imagemap facility. This allows you to segment an image into sectors and in those sectors you can get a link to work. It's a technique used for all kinds of single images where there are sections of the image with different links. There are some online facilities for doing this. I don't know an address but easily found by searching "Online imagemap creation" or similar.

Wow, that actually works. It will take a bit of adjusting the other boxes accordingly, and getting the hang of it. I've only just begun trying it so am not sure I won't hit any glitches but it works so far.

Well, after testing it a bit further I find that, although it displays correctly in editing mode and even preview mode, it does not display anything outside the box, when I go to the url in a separate window.

Actually I'm noticing that none of the changes, including vocabulary, are showing up. So there must be a delay in implementing the changes to my site, or my browser is calling up an old version without updating. Hmm, not sure yet.

Yes, it was just a delay because now it is showing the changes, including out of bounds elements.
